Belgium’s Coddling of Muslims

After an Islamist terrorist
attack, there is the usual rubbish that we’ve somehow provoked Muslims to
terror.But really the West has
given Muslims far more consideration than they deserve.In Belgium, as elsewhere in Europe, they
have been downright coddled:

Meantime, [Belgium’s] allowing the construction of
massive mosques, including one with a 60-foot minaret that will automatically
light up during calls to prayer. Authorities even let Muslim hate-preachers
sermonize at the subway stations in Brussels, including one known to approach
young Muslims and persuade them to go and fight in Syria.

Heavily subsidized by Belgium’s overgenerous welfare
system, North African immigrants have little incentive to integrate. Instead
they turn inward, creating Islamic no-go zones divorced from and hostile to
Western society.

Sharia4Belgium is one of most popular youth
organizations in the country. Its young Muslim bullies go around harassing
non-Muslims to comply with Sharia law on the street, banning the smoking of
cigarettes, the use of alcohol and the sale of pork. Women who don’t cover up
get pawed, or worse, raped.

As a result, welfare is abused by Muslims across
Europe — some 80% of Muslim immigrants to Europe are on the dole, and more than
half are “economically inactive.” Muslims claim disability more than any other
group.

In the EU capital of Belgium, as well as neighboring
Netherlands, Muslims are roughly 5% of the population yet consume 40% to 60% of
the welfare budget. Belgium spends more on unemployment benefits than any other
country outside Denmark.

European society isn’t oppressing Muslim immigrants.
Far from it. It’s coddling them, providing them a comfortable living. And they
return the favor by disemboweling their gracious hosts.

Yes, I do think there is a
lesson here.One is unwise to
invite peoples hostile to your culture and then not only allow them to continue
to be hostile to your culture but also reward them for leeching off your
society.

Yes, that is rather obvious
if politically incorrect.It shows
how self-destructive Western societies are today that it even has to be said.
